ALEXIS BITTAR

The son of two antique collectors, Alexis Bittar has long held a fascination with vintage jewelry ever since he received a tangled lot as a birthday present at age thirteen. Since then, Bittar has continued to explore the possibilities of fine accessories, re-imagining them in bold forms and sculptural shapes that are as sleek as they are modern. Signatures include raw edged pieces in luxurious metals with a slightly tribal flair, such as his dramatic gold cuff whose finish evokes crushed silk. Stocked in luxury boutiques worldwide, his editorial pieces are favorites among high fashion magazines, including W and Paris Vogue.
